7. Saturn Distance to the sun1 430 million km Time to orbit the sun (Year)30 years Time to rotate itself (Day)10.5 hours Composition Gas Planet Hydrogen, Helium, Liquid hydrogen core, Rings of dust, rock and ice Climate-150 °C edge atmosphere, 11 700 °C core Winds of 500 m/s

8. Uranus Distance to the sun2 880 million km Time to orbit the sun (Year)84 years Time to rotate itself (Day)17 hours Composition Gas Planet Water, Ammonia, Methane ices, Rocky core Atmosphere of hydrogen and helium Climate-224 °C Winds of 250 m/s

9. Neptune Distance to the sun4 500 million km Time to orbit the sun (Year)165 years Time to rotate itself (Day)16 hours Composition Gas Planet Hydrogen, Helium, Methane, Ammonia Climate-218 °C Winds of 666 m/s

10. Conclusion Planets close to the Sun are solid and warmer than planets further away from the Sun, which exist of gas. Years are longer for planets that are further away.
